Escaping the Rush: A Glimpse Into Slow Living in the Countryside

 Life moves fast, doesn't it? Between work, commitments, and the constant hum of the digital world, it’s easy to feel swept away. That's precisely why carving out moments of calm and simplicity has become more essential than ever. And if there’s one thing I’ve truly learned, it’s that sometimes the greatest luxury is just… slowing down.

My latest YouTube video, "vlog | slow living in the countryside," is a gentle invitation to do just that.

In this vlog, I took you along for a truly precious slow family day back in the countryside. It was a day filled with the things that truly nourish the soul: fresh air, good food, and the comfort of loved ones.

What you'll find in this cozy vlog:

• Coastal Walks & Fresh Air: There’s nothing quite like the sea breeze to clear the mind. We spent some time reconnecting with nature, just walking and breathing it all in.

• Homemade Comfort: My mom’s cooking always hits different! You’ll get a peek into some delicious homemade meals that tasted like pure nostalgia.

• Literary Escapes: Of course, no slow day is complete without getting lost in a good book. I was diving into "A Place for Us" and shared some thoughts – it's definitely one to add to your reading list if you love immersive family sagas.

• The Magic of Movie Nights: What better way to wind down than with a classic? We indulged in a Lord of the Rings marathon, because sometimes, you just need a bit of epic fantasy to truly switch off.

This video is more than just a vlog; it's a feeling. A feeling of peace, presence, and profound gratitude for the quiet moments that often get overlooked. My hope is that it inspires you to find your own pockets of slow living, wherever you are. So grab a warm drink, get cozy, and come along with me.
